PoeticAfrica is the newest magazine on the scene! Published by Writers Space Africa, PoeticAfrica showcases rich and diverse poetry in English, Swahili and French from all over Africa to the world.

Poetic Africa, Africa’s first trilingual (English, French, and Kiswahili) poetry magazine, calls for submissions from poets for her May 2024 edition.

Memories could fade away, but imprints are forever left on our hearts, serving as a reminder of the deep connections created and shared throughout our lives. In this light, write and submit your poem under the theme “NAMES.”

The editorial team is looking for poems of a maximum of 24 lines, creativity and originality, use of poetic devices, and economy of words. Please present well-arranged poetry and note that the poem titles should not have the word “NAMES.”

The submission window is open from February 10th until March 10th, 2024. The edition will be released on May 10th, 2024.

To submit, please use the portal below. Submissions in French or Swahili are accepted (without equivalent translations in English).
